Doggy

As I stared out my window,
looking at the cold dog,
I would be a hog
if I did not let him know
that there is a log
on the fire for him.

The man standing there
with his cup of tea,
probably with not a care
for poor old me.
What he doesn't realize is,
I am his.





One Monkey in a Barrelexternal image black-howler-monkey.jpg

My voice is a ball-player's,
an Irish kid's,
and a hay-layer's.
My voice is that of a little brother
and a puppy dog hugger.

My voice is an understandable one,
one that doesn't like his nun,
and one who runs under the sun,
and loves having fun.

I have the voice of Shane Zarroll,
and I'm proud to say,
"I'm the only monkey in that barrel."
